Kernel release status

The current development kernel remains 2.6.0-test9, as it has been since October 25. The slow, steady accumulation of patches (all relatively important fixes) in Linus's BitKeeper repository continues, however. One of those patches disables the IDE tagged command queueing feature, since it does not look like that code will be sufficiently stable by the 2.6.0 release.

The current stable kernel is 2.4.22; Marcelo announced the first 2.4.23 release candidate on November 10. The time has come for testing of this release to help ensure a solid 2.4.23 kernel in the near future.
